A/N: A little poem :-) Please be kind!
Your great expectations,
Are wearing me down.
It hurts whenever,
I have to let you down.
Your high standards are some,
I simply cannot reach,
The wall of hurt goes up between us,
And it's one I don't even try to breach.
I don't expect you to know,
Just how much I miss you.
I know you're right here,
But I never speak to you.
And I keep quiet,
Even though I'm burning inside,
I fall flat on my face,
And then I run and hide.
And now, I'm doing something,
Of which I know you wouldn't approve,
But it's me right here, right now,
And not you.
And this helps me on,
My earlier quest,
To become a great dragon killer,
Just like the rest.
But I'm not killing,
Instead, I'm training,
I'm surprised at myself,
I thought I was way past caring.
I thought I couldn't care,
I thought I couldn't anymore,
But apparently, I can,
Because it hurts as you walk out the door.
I know you're proud,
Yes, I know you're real proud of me,
But prepare yourself,
Cuz' you're about to not be.
And once you realize I'm not a has-been,
Once you realize I'm a never-was,
You're gonna yell, you're gonna scream,
And I know I'm the cause.
I hate making you angry,
But this I've got to do.
Haven't you noticed,
How little I stand up to you?
And you're walking out of my life,
Why are you walking out?
Leaving me where,
Your great expectations have worn me down.
